Looking at Ji Zhao’s confident gaze, Shen Yao was still very worried.

‘Ah Tao, what are your plans?

Just as Ji Zhao was about to speak, she suddenly remembered that Ji Chen was still in the room. She quickly smiled and rubbed Ji Chen’s head. She said gently, ‘Chenchen, go back to your room and read first, okay?”

Ji Chen nodded obediently. After he walked out of the room, Ji Zhao held Shen Yao’s hand and sat back on the edge of the bed. She thought for a moment, dipped her finger in some tea, and wrote a word on the smooth table. Shen Yao was very surprised when he saw the word ‘Huai’ clearly.

‘Wasn’t he already taken away by the yamen?

‘That’s why I’m puzzled.” Ji Zhao frowned and said in a low voice, “1 want to enter the city to ask for information.”

‘Shall I go with you?”

…..
‘There’s really no need.” Ji Zhao shook her head gently. “1 hope you can stay at home and recuperate.”

‘But Ah Tao…’

‘Shen Yao, you have to believe me.” Ji Zhao looked into his eyes and said seriously, “I’m not a dodder flower attached to a big tree. I’m more determined than you think. So please believe me, okay?”

‘Tm afraid…” In the end, Shen Yao was convinced by her determined gaze. ‘Then Ah Tao, promise me that you won’t act rashly. Come back when you hear the news. Let’s discuss it together, okay?”

‘Okay!” Ji Zhao nodded obediently. Before she left, she did not forget to kiss him on the lips. “Don’t worry, my luck has always been very good!”

Just as Ji Zhao was about to leave, Eldest Brother Shen put set up the carriage.

‘Eldest Brother, are you going back to the county city?

‘Your Eldest sister-in-law ordered some clothes from the cloth shop a few days ago. We can go and pick them up today. Also, I want to take a look at the shop,” Eldest Brother Shen explained with a smile. “Third Sister-in-law, are you going out? Where are you going? I’ll give you a ride.’

‘Tm going to the county too!” Ji Zhao said with a smile.

She knew she was very lucky!

Dingyuan County, Hongxing Restaurant.

Qin Minghong looked at the table full of dishes, but he still did not have an appetite.

Second Manager You looked at his absent-minded appearance and could not help but say, ‘Young Master, our restaurant’s special dishes are all on this table. Do you really not want to eat at all?”

“1 don’t have an appetite. I don’t want to eat.’

‘Why don’t we go to Ah Tao’s house? Ah Tao said before that she likes to eat hot pots the most in winter…” Second Manager You carefully observed Qin Minghong’s expression.

‘No need.” Qin Minghong waved his hand. ‘Get someone to remove these dishes. I want to go out for a walk.”

When Qin Minghong walked out of the restaurant, he happened to see a red figure not far away. The depressed expression on his face was immediately replaced by a smile as he walked quickly to the person.

‘Ah Tao, why are you here?”

Ji Zhao, who was dressed in a crimson coat, walked quickly in the cold wind.

‘Young Master Qin?”

Ji Zhao replied with a smile.

Second Manager You, who was clearing the accounts in front of the restaurant counter, heard his young master’s hearty laughter and raised his head curiously.

When he saw Ji Zhao walking beside the young master, his eyes lit up.

‘Ah Tao?”

‘Second Brother You!” Ji Zhao greeted him warmly.

The smile on Qin Minghong’s face instantly froze.

‘You call him Second Brother You straightforwardly. Why are you still calling me Young Master? Ah Tao, isn’t this way of addressing me too distant?”

Qin Minghong had never been one to suffer grievances. He immediately voiced out the dissatisfaction in his heart until Ji Zhao addressed him seriously and obediently as Big Brother Qin.

Only then did he smile in satisfaction.

‘Ah Tao, it’s almost the end of the year. Why are you in the county town? Second Manager You hurriedly brought a bowl of ginger tea from the kitchen and asked Ji Zhao with concern.

After gulping down half a bowl of ginger tea, Ji Zhao felt her entire body warm up. She thanked Second Manager You obediently and said, “Actually, I’m here to ask around.’

‘My brother and the others heard that the county magistrate intends to integrate Shanghe Village and Pomegranate Village into one village. I want to ask if the previous fields will be redistributed.” Ji Zhao explained the Ji family’s matter concisely. In the end, she smiled bitterly and said, ‘Actually, I’m worried that the share that belongs to Chenchen will be snatched away by Ji

Huai.”

‘After all, Chenchen is the only bloodline left in the world by the Ji family’s grandfather.” Ji Zhao lowered her eyes and sighed. Her tone was filled with disappointment. “I want to protect the right that belongs to Chenchen.’ ‘Previously, Ji Huai caused trouble at the Earth Temple in our Shanghe Village and was arrested by the bailiffs of the county office. Therefore, I came to the county city today to ask about Ji Huai.” Ji Zhao thought for a moment and looked at Second Manager You anxiously. ‘Second Brother You, don’t you have some relationship with the butler of the Ma Residence? Can you help me ask around?”

‘Ah Tao, you’re here early! You came at the right time!” Second Manager You said with a smile. “I just happen to be meeting Butler Ma for lunch today!”

‘Really?” Ji Zhao didn’t expect herself to be so lucky. “That’s good. I’ll help make a few side dishes at the restaurant this afternoon?

‘Deal!”

Ji Zhao’s culinary skills were already godly in Second Manager You’s heart! He was naturally more than happy to accept Ji Zhao’s suggestion!

‘Cough, cough.” Qin Minghong couldn’t help but cough when he heard the two of them discussing which side dishes were better.

Finally, he successfully attracted Ji Zhao’s attention.

‘Brother Qin, is your throat uncomfortable? Why don’t you drink more hot water?” Ji Zhao looked into his eyes. Her delicate brows were filled with concern for her friend.

Even so, Qin Minghong was still very happy.

‘Okay.”

‘By the way, Young Master Qin, do you know if there are any good teachers in Dingyuan County?

‘Teachers?”

‘Yes, I want Chenchen to come to the county to study.”

‘What a coincidence. I have one in my family.” Qin Minghong slowly curled his lips and said softly, “Master Song, who taught me since I was young, is not only talented in literature, but also has a good temperament.’

‘Really?” Ji Zhao’s eyes instantly lit up. “Then can I trouble Brother Qin to introduce me?

‘Okay.” Qin Minghong nodded happily. He picked up the cup of hot tea in front of him and took a sip happily.

“I wonder if this Master Song would mind teaching two people at the same time? I think Shen Yao needs a good teacher too!”

Upon hearing this, Qin Minghong suddenly felt that the cup of tea in his hand was not fragrant at all.

In fact, it was a little bitter!

‘Shen Yao? He needs a teacher too?”

‘Yes.” Ji Zhao smiled sweetly and said happily, ‘Shen Yao’s leg illness has already recovered. He plans to pick up his books again and give himself another chance to participate in the imperial examination..”
